Doge is a while other ball of wax. Most of what their find is probably illegal. My point was that if Russians took your car, you didn’t necessarily give them the keys. (Though it is possible.)
Most likely, Doge has bad opsec.

"No nation can long endure without humility and gratitude before God..."
The Chinese and Mongol empires would like a word. The Roman Empire only really fell apart after they made Christianity the state religion.

While this is a huge security risk, the Russian collision is probably a red herring. When I worked at [tech co] we saw hacking attempts within moments of bringing a new computer online. In fact, we stopped using Windows for a while because they'd get hacked before we could add our security code.

Man, if you were going to cast a film with a corrupt politician, wouldn't you pick this guy on appearance alone?

Yeah, rip into the law firms, but also please acknowledge that it's extortion on Trump's part. The law firms are just weak. He's criminal.

This is probably simplistic, but what happens if you require every AI generated image to include a metadata tag that says so, and make it expensive to violate that rule?

That's why woke and CRT and DEI are so useful to them. They don't have any clear meaning and they can be twisted to justify anything. Terrorist is about to get the same treatment. Anyone who says something against the regime will be labeled a terrorist.

We may have a subconscious recognition that we're creating our own Saurons in people like Musk and Thiel by concentrating power in the 0.1%. Unfortunately the policy battlefield where that should be fought has been nearly completely ceded to the 0.1%.

I think Klein is underestimating how much the apocalyptic battle is baked into the culture. It's not just libertarians and fundamentalists. One of the biggest cultural touchstones, The Lord of the Rings, culminates in a similar fashion.

Lawyer-speak. Of course no one has been mistakenly sent. Illegally yes, mistakenly no.

Yeah i don't think the WSJ is out in front of some leftist bandwagon. They're just mad they're losing money.

Be careful what you wish for. I had a kitten that liked to sit on my shoulder. He still liked it when he got big. Only then he weighed a lot more and used his claws to steady himself after a jump up. It was less cute at that point.

We are also paying for those prisons. Bet if the checks stopped coming in the prisons would empty out.

One thing no one has mentioned is that chimps are 98+% similar to humans, but if you claimed you could turn a chimp into a human with a few dozen gene edits, you'd be laughed out of the lab.

The Dogebros were still in diapers when we were dealing with Y2K. They don't understand the limits of legacy systems that didn't have gigabytes of RAM to throw at every problem.

What the parallel layout really highlights is the use of language for us vs them.
